Hi all
Picked up my GLE 43 With the 22" wheels. I love the look and they ride great right up until today's snow storm. They weren't horrible but I'm thinking of changing to a dedicated winter wheel/tire set up. Went online to Tire Rack and they said nothing was available. I did a search and saw some on the non coupe version but not for the coupe.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I doubt the wheels options are different between the Coupe and non Coupe. Maybe Tire Rack database is not updated yet with the Coupe as it came out later on. If not, drop down a size to 21in wheels and get the Pirelli Scorpion Winter (what I have on my GLS).

They have OZ Dakars in 20"s you can use. Bit more narrow then stock which will be good for winter set. I user them on my GLE63 but have 20x10 (Think you could do 20x8.5.

Best thing to do is email them - they are helpful. I did to confirm my order.

Thanks for the replies...I appreciate the intel. I was looking at the Dakar wheels. I called a friend at Benz and he said they'll all fit I just have to watch the caliper clearance. I'm calling Tire Rack today.
How are the Pirelli winter tires? I've always had good luck with the Blizzaks.

The 22" P Zeros on there now are less than helpful in the snow!! Lol

Havent tried the Pirellis yet. I bought them off the internet and received them but I am away from home for a couple of weeks so didnt get a chance to put them on.

Thanks. I ordered mine from Tire Rack. I'll put them on this weekend. I'll let you know how they are.

I'm shopping for 20" Dakkar. Would love to see pics of the install. Which tire did you end up choosing? I'm leaning towards Pirelli Scorpion Winters.

Also, any recommendations on good alloys <25-28 lbs for '16 GLE 63S AMG?

I always get Blizzaks. Both work well. But I trust blizzaks since they have not failed me yet - If you watch game of thrones, I live at the wall!

Legit setup! Car looks amazing! Red and black Mercedes cap was after-market?

I've requested a quote from TR on 20" Dakkar + 275/40 Blizzaks. Lets see what the damage looks like.
